A good business analyst should understand that the acronym INVEST is for:
- Independent
- Negotiable
- Valuable
- Estimable
- Sized appropriately
- Testable
Show the Amazon interviewer that you are familiar with industry terms by explaining what INVEST means, breaking down each word. If you are not familiar with INVEST, that is okay. Likely, this means that you do not often work in the IT space.

"I understand INVEST best for creating user stories with product managers, developers, and IT teams. The acronym is for Independent--the story should be self-contained. Negotiable--user stories can always be altered. Valuable--meaning there should be a goal or a value attached to the user story. Estimable--the size of a user story should always be easily estimated. Sized appropriately--meaning the user story should not be too small or too large. Finally, Testable--when user stories are testable, it's easy to see when the project is correct and complete."
